A contribution to the 'Red' Theme. A young monk rests atop a circular cable box near the old palace in Bumthang. The four valleys that make Bumthang is the sacred heart of the country. Besides natural beauty the valley is bountifully blessed with numerous ancient temples and is the revered birthplace of many saints. It was here that the legendary saint Pema Lingpa was born, to whom the Bhutanese Royalties trace their lineage. Bumthang is also distinguished in history as the first place in Bhutan where Guru Rimpoche brought Buddhism.

This incidentally is my 100th post on TL. It has been a journey to rememeber and one which I hope will never end.As I reach this small landmark on my journey at TL, I would be the first to admit that I have gained much more from this site, than what I could ever hope to give back. I would run out of space if I tried to mention all those friends whose critiques, comments, contributions, criticisms and appreciations have made the time I have spent on TL such a worthwhile experience. So Thank You All!

First morning cafe, first morning cigaret wit so beautiful shots in TL...
Beautiful portrait...
Great expression...

Hello Lopa,
Congrats on the 100 and on this fine composition!
DOF spot on makes the monk stand out so well in an almost 3-D feeling...
The expression is well captured, maybe a bit sceptical this fellow?

Hi Lopa,

Congratulations! Three things to congratulate you with; Fitting the red theme, Your 100th post and a fine photograph itself!
I do appreciate the space you have given this photograph to the top of your composition. Nicely out of focus as well. To give the eyes a bit of a rest. Nice one!

Hello Lopa,
For me, your gallery is one of the most beautiful and impressive here, on TL.
It's a big pleasure to watch your compositions:)
This portrait of young monk is just excellent. Nicely composed, expressive, with good contrast and splendid colors.
Tfs:)

Hi Lopa, The heavy saturation and contrast here is very effective. Composed very well, beautiful colors for the background. This round spool that the boy is laying on is very interesting. Indeed a very nice posting and good work.
